And how it will be different from G or Y!? How it will be "open"?
We can get its php/ajax source code? Or the source code of its backends?
Or the source code all other software running in their servers?
Or will everyone get user accounts in their servers? w/o a user account,
how can you be sure that they are running what they say they are running?

Or do you just mean mail/im/networking services from fsf.org? Even if it is
from fsf.org, how can it be different from G or Y!?
